2,800 sq ft, premium lot, Pinal County
HOA Fee (upper tier)$540/mo
Property Tax (Pinal Co. ~0.60%)$375/mo
Homeowners Insurance$258/mo
Golf Cart Fees (2x/week)$200/mo
Electric$230/mo
Water / Sewer$120/mo
Total Monthly Non-Mortgage$1,723/mo

Annual non-mortgage cost: ~$20,676. Premium Encanterra lots carry meaningful premiums over base pricing — golf course frontage, Algarve Club proximity, and larger lots command $50K–$150K above comparable interior homes.

Trilogy at Encanterra's all-in carrying cost of $1,212–$1,723/month is the lowest among comparable Trilogy communities nationally — the Pinal County tax advantage and Arizona's insurance efficiency create a cost structure that Florida Trilogy communities (where HOA is similar but insurance runs $4,000–$7,000/year vs $2,300–$3,100/year in Arizona) cannot match.
